[nawtyxes]

[freestyler]

Yes

[nawtyxes]

could you please elaborate on how I can do such a thing. I have ffmpegX, can i do it with that. Please help

[lordsmurf]

Sure, but why?

Why convert, if I'm right here, what is basically an MPEG1 format to an MPEG2 format file ??

If its plays perfectly, just leave it alone, unless you have a very specific purpose that needs it to be converted ??


If you convert it, it will need to be re-encoded, which will lead to even more quality loss

the reason s b/c i would like to burn the file i have on a DVD using sizzle. I demuxed the file, changed the audio, muxed it back together, but now the file when it plays shows a black screen (but the audio plays). Sizzle to my knowledge takes m2v files not m1v. Am I correct. Thanks for the assistance guys on how to convert the m1v to m2v.

Also since I'm using a Mac, i'm not able to use most of the programs available. I have the programs that will enable me to burn a m2v not a m1v onto a dvd. thanks.
